Corporate Governance & Activist Investing in Europe

As activist campaigns become more sophisticated and the pool of targets continues to grow, public company executives and directors increasingly recognize the importance of being proactive. Corporate leaders everywhere are adopting a range of structural changes to meet the challenges.

Corporate Governance & Activist Investing in Europe taking place September 19th in London will explore the current thinking on strategy, examine how European corporations are responding to the changing environment, and outline best practices and corporate governance initiatives that public company boards can implement to deal effectively with activist campaigns. Amid the uncertainty unleashed by the decision of British voters to leave the European Union, the event will provide a comprehensive, clear-eyed assessment of potential responses.

How will Brexit change your corporate governance imperatives? What are the short and long term issues boards will need to address in a post-Brexit European Union? Where can executives and directors find the resources they need to ride out the turmoil? A roster of prominent experts and practitioners will analyze these and other issues, providing vital guidance for the individuals tasked with leading their companies through these tumultuous times.

The agenda examines the evolution of shareholder activism in Europe, while addressing corporate governance issues from the perspective of the corporate executive and institutional investor. Attendees include corporate board members and executives, institutional investors, hedge fund managers and corporate advisors.
